Up to now, parents of some have had to find communal homes outside of the region, distancing their children from friends and supporters. Other parents have had to put their young adults into homes within the region that had only a limited number of program choices. Often this has resulted in residents moving from home to home after short periods of time, resulting in a transient life style ill suited to personal growth.
